Darker and yet funnier than the previous films.

Advantages: Amazing special effects. Excellent acting.
Disadvantages: Unfaithful to the book in parts.

...film in its own right Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is one of my favourites of the series so far. This film is much darker than the others, the wizarding world has now admitted that Voldemort is back and Harry has to realise his ties with Voldemort more than ever before. Despite being a much darker film it is also more comedic than many of the others. The strong theme of romance and various different love stories give the film much needed ...
...are hilarious. The acting is of an excellent standard and Jim Broadment makes a welcome addition to the cast as Professor Slughorn. This film contains less action than many of the others, largely to focus upon the storyline and retell the wealth of information revealed in this book. In order to create more action there are several scenes in the film which do not appear in the book. Some I think work well (the dementors destroying the millenium bridge ...

Review of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince (DVD)

iRobot, a action packed film, with both humor and story to it.

Advantages: Good acting, good sound effects, and good other special effects, action packed.
Disadvantages: is a little long

I really did enjoy this film, so much so I watched it three times. As i first watched it at quite a young age i didn't fully understand the story. However on the second time of watching it I just understood and it the end all made sence and became clear. This film really was action packed yet somehow they also manged to fit both humor, a love story and a great plot that was unexpected. I have always loved Will Smith as a actor and I feel he did ...
...realtioship with the other main charcter when I watched it the second and third time. I thought it was amazing, that you got to see how different he was when talking to he's Granma conpared to when he was talking to he's boss, friends and girlfriend. And to see how bad he felt and why he did feel so bad. Also why he had such a strong dislike against the robots. Overall I would recomd watching this film, as I would recomd most of the films Will ...

Review of I, Robot (DVD)

The System is Perfect...Until it comes after you

Advantages: Good cast and storyline
Disadvantages: A tad too long

I'd caught sections of Minority Report when it had been on television - numerous times - but until last week I'd never actually seen it the whole way through. There were a couple of reasons for this with the firs being that normally I find the film is on late at night when I really want to settle down to sleep and two that the idea for the film isn't one that would normally interest me. I did think however it was probably about time I saw it and ...
...it a go. Minority Report like I have already mentioned stars Tom Cruise and is a sci-fi type film that was released in 2002. The year is 2054 and the base for the story is Washington DC which thanks to an outstanding technology that can identify killers before they even commit their crimes, has been free of murder for six-years. This technology and the unit that houses it is known as Precrime and is able to complete the job it does because of three ...

Review of Minority Report (DVD)

FANTASTIC!

Advantages: Brilliant stories, fantastic acting.
Disadvantages: Cutdown confidentials instead of full episode

The first series of Doctor Who I saw was series 4. I thought it was brilliant and instantly loved it so obviously wanted to watch the rest of the series to see what other amazing stories there were. To describe the First SEries in one word I would have to say it was FANTASTIC! Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor is brilliant and Billie Piper as his companion Rose means there's lots of laughs along the way too. In the first episode ROSE the Doctor ...
...life and travel with the Doctor in his TARDIS. In the second episode THE END OF THE WORLD they travel to platform one to see the end of Earth. There are loads of different aliens on board and some robot spiders which are trying to destroy the ship they are on and kill everyone. In the third episode THE UNQUIET DEAD the Doctor takes Rose to Cardiff in 1869 by mistake and they meet Charles Dickens. They also meet a new alien race the Gelth who lost ...

Review of Doctor Who - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Love... Which Makes The Worlds Go 'Round

Advantages: wonderfully entertaining, detailed enough for enjoyable repeat viewings
Disadvantages: sad endings!

...home for Christmas, but The Doctor is still recovering from his latest regeneration and looks to spending this holiday in a coma. It's up to Rose, Jackie, and Mickey to keep him safe until he recovers. Any easy task... until the Sycorax arrive on earth and hold one third of the world's population hostage! It's a "Christmas Invasion", but will the Doctor recover in time to act once more as the Earth's Champion? Favorite quote: "Ahh, not bad for a ...
...a nice man." ~ The Doctor Season two of Doctor Who unwraps itself with like a Christmas cracker... a bit of noise and flash to celebrate some simple fun. Throughout the season, we see Rose coming to terms with some of the less pleasant aspects of time traveling with the Doctor, and their friendship strengthen. This incarnation of the Doctor seems generally happier than the one we were originally introduced to in the first season, and we get the sense ...
